Dr D would play bout anything if he knew the story behind it

Stavro Arrgolus:
A mainstream band making a comedy/novelty song that they usually wouldn't make can count - cover or not. Styx made "Plexiglas Toilet", Van Halen made "Happy Trails". That sort of thing.
But you have to use your judgment. Is it novelty or are you just adding it because it's there? Listen to it first and know that they made it for the sheer hell of it. Those are the best kind of these types of songs.
When in doubt, think, "Would Dr. Demento play this?" If not, leave it out.

So that means pearl jam's cover fits here too?
